Word to the Wise: Sapid

Something that’s "sapid" (SAP-id) - from the Latin for "to taste" - has a strong, pleasant flavor.

Example (as used by David William Cheever in The Atlantic): "Chemistry can concentrate the sapid and odorous elements of the peach and the bitter almond into a transparent fluid."
